Influence of Development and Maintenance HR Practices on Work Engagement through Learning Goal Orientation

Abstract

The current study aims to examine the influence of bundles of development and maintenance HR practices on employee's behavior of work engagement through learning goal orientation. The sample size of the study was 370. Data were collected from different Pakistan oil refineries through a self-administered questionnaire and were analyzed through covariance-based SEM by using AMOS. Findings of the study confirmed the proposed study associations and revealed that both development and maintenance HR practices are positively and significantly associated with employee's behavior of work engagement and learning goal orientation partially mediates between the association of bundles of HR practices (development and maintenance) and work engagement. The authors contribute to the stream of knowledge by explicating the overall additive impact of segregated bundles of the development and maintenance of HR practices on work engagement through mediating effect of learning goal orientation between HR bundles and work engagement. Present study forwards implications for both theory and practice

The influence of physical education teachers perceived organization support on innovation behavior: The mediating role of learning goal orientation

“…Learning goal orientation has a significant positive effect on innovation behavior, in line with previous research (Shabbir and Malik, 2021). Individuals with a learning goal orientation aim at self-development, and when faced with difficulties, individuals with a higher learning goal orientation are more motivated to learn, see the problem to be solved as a challenge, and ultimately aim to promote the target behaviour (Chai et al, 2021).…”

“…Individuals with a learning goal orientation aim at self-development, and when faced with difficulties, individuals with a higher learning goal orientation are more motivated to learn, see the problem to be solved as a challenge, and ultimately aim to promote the target behaviour (Chai et al, 2021). In the process of innovation, individuals who hold a higher learning goal orientation are more motivated to learn and want to improve their abilities in order to promote innovation behavior (Zhou, 2021).The findings illustrate that an individual's orientation towards learning goals, a process that integrates individual affective behaviour and individual cognition, is an important factor influencing individual creative behaviour (Shabbir and Malik, 2021).…”

Human Resource Practices and Organizational Support as the Determinants in Enhancing Vietnamese Retail Employee Engagement: The Mediating Role of Job Enrichment

“…Besides, while prior research has long substantiated the direct links between HR systems and organizational performance (Kroon et al, 2013), academics' attention has recently been steered towards exploring the mediating mechanisms underlying such connections (Pak & Kim, 2018). Particularly, how to boost employee engagement through HR practices is still an under-researched issue that calls for more empirical investigations like the present study to fill the gap (Bakker & Albrecht, 2018;Shabbir & Malik, 2021). Furthermore, the study addresses the dearth of research on employee engagement in the retail sector, especially in Vietnam.…”
